Vice President JD Vance will spearhead a Smithsonian Institution overhaul, as directed by President Trump’s executive order aiming to restore “truth and sanity” to American history. The order targets exhibits and programs deemed divisive, specifically citing the planned American Women’s History Museum and the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Funding for these institutions will be contingent upon compliance with the order’s directives. Simultaneously, renovations to Independence Hall are mandated in preparation for its 250th anniversary. This action reflects Trump’s broader campaign against what he labels “woke” ideology within American culture.
Despite a 30-year-old state mandate, the teaching of African American history in Florida remains inconsistent and inadequate, prompting community initiatives to fill the gap. Many families lack confidence in public schools’ ability to provide comprehensive instruction, citing limitations to well-known figures and infrequent coverage beyond Black History Month. This inadequacy is further exacerbated by recent state laws restricting discussions of race and history in schools, hindering educators and leading to the creation of independent Black history programs. Consequently, community organizations and churches are stepping up to provide the vital historical education lacking in many Florida schools.
